Hi ,
I have removed one contact email id from the contactgroup, after removal of the email id mails are being sent to the user even after the contact id removal.
I have searched all the files but couldnt find any email id in the configuration files.
Could some one help with this issue.

Re: contact email id reflects even after removal
Have you made sure to restart the nagios service after making the changes? This needs to be done so the updated files can be re-read.

Re: contact email id reflects even after removal
Thanks Donald for the reply,
Even after restarting the nagios, the user is getting the alerts. I have checked all the cfg files but couldnt find the user email id. But i could see the user mail id in the maillog.

remove the status.dat and caches and restart everything
Re: contact email id reflects even after removal
If you do this, bear in mind it will remove any acknowledgements and comments you may have in place.eltrasimaco wrote:remove the status.dat and caches and restart everything
If you look in the .../var/objects.cache file, do you see the email address there?

Re: contact email id reflects even after removal
Please post the objects.cache for us to review. What contact / email should not be receiving notificataions?
Are you using anything to manage your configuration files on top of Nagios Core?
